Live in Barbados for a year and work remotely? Yes, please!!!

Maybe this pandemic has you wanting to live off the grid or just disappear until there is a vaccine or until it’s totally gone!  Here’s a very interesting option to live in Barbados for a year and work remotely!

Barbados just announced they’ll be offering 12-month visas to anyone who wants to come to their country to work remotely.

They’re hoping to attract some workers who’ll help offset the economic losses they’re suffering from the drop in tourism.

They also think the 12-month timeframe works better during the pandemic, where international trips can require long quarantines both coming and going.

Barbados has only had 98 coronavirus cases and seven deaths, so all things considered, it could be a good place to ride this out. Plus, you know, it’s a beautiful Caribbean island, beautiful sunsets and all the stuff that comes with island living!

*sigh* yes please!!!
